Is there a workaround for this that allows for many files (with long paths) to be dragged and dropped onto a compiled script?

the closest to what explorer does would be (I think)

>^]::Run %PDFprogram% D:\Desktop\IP Division Calendar.pdf, D:\Desktop\

Wow. That worked. Thanks!

I have a simple command
>^]::Run D:\Desktop\IP Division Calendar.pdf
That always messes up my PDF program, using quotes around the path(s)specifying the exe and then the pdfspecif ...

I'm having this issue using a compiled AHK script within the SendTo menu: too many files send to it gives this error. Any suggestions?

What I got from it was that with Alt-triggered hotkeys, AHK tries to suppress Alt by sending a bunch of Control and Alt sequences among other stuff. For other hotkey modifiers, this kind of suppressi ...

Did you try that?

There have been scattered reports on the forums here about issues with SendInput and SendPlay using Vista. I've had difficulties also. Some suggestions involve using compatibility mode or running as ...

Send {Raw} is in effect for the remainder of the string, but if you want to send a long string and have only some parts be raw you need to have multiple commands: Send ^{f9}INCLUDEPICTURE &q ...

I've had better luck with SendPlay than with SendInput, but I have UAC off so that might make a difference (global keyboard hook). I also wasn't being careful enough to use {Raw} when necessary.

PS I updated the script to prevent issues sending text with characters that get escaped.

I have a modified version to remove white space and new line marks and that avoids "pasting" because that can trigger unnecessary paste options in Microsoft Office:
